If you're in Virginia, you could come up to Northern VA or DC and try Capital Bikeshare bikes - they can't be that much different from NYC's City Bikes. The Bikeshare bikes have 3 speeds (internal gear hub) and are heavy according to others. I'm not a fast rider - no aspirations to compete in Giro D'Italia or Tour De France - so bike weight makes little difference to me, but they're great for when I want to go somewhere right after work that is not Metro-accessible.
